[PATCH V2 1/2] include: Define constant for save image format
Add a new VIR_DOMAIN_SAVE_PARAM_IMAGE_FORMAT typed parameter for
specifying the save image format. A format specified via the
virDomainSaveParams API overrides the save_image_format setting
in qemu.conf. The 'raw' format remains the default.
